Mi CIIAS. B. JONES, Editor and rropUor. (IlIIIHU AT Tffil P08T-Omm AT CHAKLOTTa, N. 0., A&SaOOHB-CLASS MATTBB.1 SUNDAY, FEB. 26, 1882. Denver, Colorado, has a population of 60,000. New Orleans is attaining some noto riety as the abode of wife assassins. The Wilmington Star will publish an evening edition, beginning March 1st Wm. F. Tucker, Jr., who has been ap pointed paymaster in the army, is a son-in-lawjof Gen. Logan. i i. i - Mr. B. F. Gravely, one of the best- known tobacco manufacturers in Vir ginia, died after a brief but painful ill ness, on the 23d inst. Walter D. Davidge and J. K. Porter, the special government counsel in the prosecution of Guiteau, have each been paid $2,500 on account. The Washington Star states tjhat the President intends to nominate General Fitz John Porter to a colonelcy of in fantry in the regular aryy. It is now probable that Ellis, Neal and Craft were wrongfully convicted of the murder of the Gibbons family in Kentucky. Ellis has confessed that his first confession was untrue. Sergeant Mason, who shot at Guiteau, has had a rough time, having spent the 160 days since "his arrest in a filthy, dingy cell, infested with rats, and the wonder is that it has not killed him. Henry Balzer, employed at Carnegie Brothers' rolling mill, Pittsburg, while examining an electric light machine last Tuesday, placed his hand on one of the wires and received a shock which killed him instantly. The P. I., man of the New York Her ald speaks of Mr. Brewster's wife as Mrs. Attorney-General Brewster. This is about as appropriate as Mrs. Police man Smith, or Mrs. Justice of the Peace Jones. Three thousand children of deceased wives' sisters are presently to assemble at Exeter Hall, London, and clamor for the repeal of the law which makes them illegitimate. Grant on the retired list, with a nice little pension for life, and Conkling stowed away for life on the Supreme bench. Don't the boss stalwarts float right along on the tide of luck if that's what it may be called. The department of agriculture has made up its figures, and its estimate of the total product of cereals in the Uni ted States and Territories last year is 2,063,029,570 bushels, being 24 per cent less than for the year 1880. The "People's Ticket" triumphed over the Republican bosses in the municipal election in Philadelphia, Tuesday. The masses of both parties united against the corruption that; has cursed the City of Brotherly Love for a number of years. The census shows that in Utah, in a popuU ion of 143,963, the Americans number 99,969 and the foreigners 43,994. It is evident from this that Americans are in a majority in the Mormon , Churc i. A Vermont man invented Mrm 'iism, and th"' early promulga tor sw re all Americ is. . Mikr McCay, a bmkeman on the Louisville and Nashville railroad, has just received a judgment at Louisville, agaiu.st the company for $7,593 50, for being disabled for lifo while ia tlie dis charge f his duties through the ignor ance and negligence of the engineer. Large sums are required every year to support the pauper immigration to this country. The chairman of the na tional committee of immigration, in a recent communication respecting the national immigration law, says that nothing less than $250,000 will suffice for that purpose the coming year. The pay of a genera in the United States army is 313,500 a year, of a re tired general (wo-thircU of that amount, which is the sum which Grant will draw for life. This, with the $10,000 income from the fund raised for him by his northern admirers a few years ago, and his other investments, ought to enable him to pull through. The editor of the Salisbury Examiner is informed that the Washington cor respondent of the Observer is a wo man. Wonder who informed him ? But now that he has been informed we trust he will not tell anybody, for it might get to the ears of the correspondent and he would be very much surprised to learn that he is a woman. In an interview at Washington Sena tor Brown, of Georgia, put a quietus on the rumored move to place him on the ticket with Blaine in the next presiden tial race, by saying that he had publicly announced that he intended to vote for a Democrat for the next President, and he didn't think Blaine much of a Demo crat The Gentiles of Utah own nearly all the 800 miles of railroad in the Terri- half nf thfl t,arahlft nrnnnrtv ho. longs to them ; they own much mining nroDerty and have inve8ted $500,000 pruictj Sta rim, llUaiJilliM' " numDer ,wv mons.

" They have appeared: ,.t- i- r,oiftraM numbers, near MARDI GR AS AT NEW ORLEANS. It is one of the cardinal doctrine s of faith in the Mohammedon religion that at some time in lifeline devoted Khall make a pilgrimage to Mecca, anil offer up his devotion to Lis prophet' and his God in the Holy City. In this d ly ;iud time, the average American citizen, while not actuated by any moral or re ligious impulse, feels that it is incum bent Upon him to attend the carnival at New Orleans. Such an impulse pro bably actuated us in 1857 -twenty-three years ago, and the duty or impulse was cancelled, but an opportunity to again witness the festivities, afforded by the recent meeting of the Southern Press Association in the Crescent City, once more made us loyal to Rex, the King of the Carnival festivities, and last Tuesday found us one of the happy, joyous throng who stood upon the bal conies on St Charles street to witness the. passing of the processions. There is only one New Orleans, and there is but one carnival in America. All others are imitations. To understand it one must know something of the rea sons why the people put themselves to the, to us, unnecessary expense of cele brating the carnival season. An old adage teaches us that "All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy." and that "A little folly now and then." Is relished by the best of men." These sentiments are applicable more positively among the people of New Orleans, than any where else, probably, on our continent. Originally peopled by the" French, its citizens partook, largely of the habits and traits of their ancestors, and hence lightness of heart and frivolity of manner early became a characteristic, if not an individuality, of the New Orleans, so named from its ancestral city in France. Again the people are largely Catholic or Episcopal in religious faith, and both these relig ious denominations prescribe a period of fasting preparatory to the proper ob servance of the Church festival at East er. This peiiod commences with Ash Wednesday extends for forty days, and comprises the L enten season. The day preceding the beginning of Lent is Shrove Tuesday, atlay set apart in all Catholic countries as an occasion when enjoyment might be indulged in with out restraint, particularly in the mat ter of eating and drinking, as if in pre paration for the solemn and fasting sea son about to follow, called in French mardi gras, or "fat Tuesday." Being then, from time immemorial, an occa sion for fun and levity, as well as a time to "eat, drink and be merry," it was therefore perfectly natural that the mardi gras festivities should have been set for this day. Custom for many years has become the law, and the custom and the law have become a part of the civilization of the people. On mardi gras day, except in extraordinary cases, infractions of the law pass unnoticed, and those who go out into the streets properly masked, do so without fear of rebuke. Literally everybody eats and drinks to the fill, (without intoxication, however) and revelry for the time rules the hour. Business for the time is sus pended, and the occasioji is one of gen eral rejoicing. This was the original mardi gras. The modern celebration consists in a brilliant street pageant illustrative of such points in history, or such epochs as the finger of time have marked on the dial-plate of the past, as well as the present civilizations. This year the pageants presented in the "Crescent City" were said to be much more bril liant than usual, but to describe them would much more than fill up this page, hence we would say, with this briel hiat'.ry of the occasion itself: "Go and see fur yourself." SOUTHERN PRESS CONVENTION. As m iny of the readers of The Observer-already know, the proprietor attended the annual meeting of the Southern Press Association, held at New Orleans, February 20th and 21st. The association is composed of the pro prietors of such daily papers in the South as take and use the associated telegraphic press reports for the bene fit of their readers, and the object of the association is almost purely a business one. In carrying out this idea, we be lieve the service can be very much im proved and made much more accept able to the general reader. About twenty Southern newspapers were rep resented and the meeting was harmoni ous in every respect It wound up in the inevitable banquet giyen by the Times-Democrat newspaper at New Orleans, which was presided over by the Governor of Louisiana. The next meeting will be held some tkne next year at Chattanooga, Tenn. It is said that the reason why Mr. Arthur has been so slow in filling ap pointments is that he has been antici pating a break up in the present politi cal organizations, and that he was con sequently moving slowly and feeling his way as he went He has been co quettingfwith the third party-ites in the South but don't seem thus far to have made much progress in this line Gen. Sherman is sixty-two years of age. SllQUld the bill compelling retire ment at sixty pass, the general claims that it would not affect him, as his rank is above such petty legislation. Noth ing but death is to terminate his com mand. Thus we are gradually coming to understand the true theory of the government. It was made for the offi cers, and the people have no part in it but to toil and obey. . . , , . -r,. . . , , Richmond State: Richmond is fa- mr sie ha? her "r I n t - ART " O XT VlrtOOf AO SOT AC 4" A d PhlAAMA t w d f 219 1 130 . d d the- jubilant bears danced and hugged one another in great glee, whUe the . , , . poor bulls bellowed ana pawea tne earth, saw a red flag in eVery rag and were ready to gore everything that had a bearish look, even to a sealskin sack.

Of these 23 are Senator Sawye, of Wisconsin, one of the wealthiest tnenin Congress, believes in the useful as well as ornamental. His daughters not long ago gave a din ner, to which their parents and a few friends were invited, and after the din ner announced that they had prepared it themselves, and also made the dresses which they wore upon the occasion. The old gentleman showed his appre ciation of their skill and industry by presenting them with a check for $25, 000 each, pin money. IN CONGRESS THE HOUSE PASSES THE POSTAL APPROPRIATION BILL. Washington, Feb. 25. House Reed, from the committee on rules, re ported a resolution for appointment of a select committee of nine to which should be referred all petitions, bills and resolutions asking for the exten sion of suffrage to women, and removal of their legal disabilities. Houk raised a point of order that un der the rule the resolution must lie over one day. The speaker overruled the point of order and the resolution was adopted, 115 to 85, almost a party vote. Stephens, of Georgia, from the com mittee on coinage, weignts ana meas ures, reported a bill to authorize the coinage of silver dollars and for frac tions thereof of full standard value of metric silver. Referred to the com mittee of the whole. Money, of Mississippi, from the com mittee on post effices and post roads re ported a bill to provide for ocean mail service between the United States and foreign pofts. Printed and recommit ted. At 12 :50 the House went into com mittee on the post office appropriation bill. An amendment was adopted that there shall be no more official stamps printed, but that all correspondence on official business shall be transmit ted in a penalty envelope. Considerable discussion ensued ov er the motion to strike out of the clause appropriating half a million dollars for necessary and special facilities on trunk lines the words, "on trunk" so as to leave it in the discretion of the Postmaster General to secure special facilities on any line. The amendment was rejected with out division. The committee arose and reported the bill to the House. The amendment authorizing the Post Master General in case of sub-letting of mail contracts on Star routes to declare or order forfeited and to enter into a contract with the sub-contractor, was agreed to, 112 to 79. The bill then passed. The House at 5:15 adjourned. Suicide in Alexander. Statesvllle Landmark. Mr. W. Berfnett, a merchant at Mt. Pisgah, Alexander county, a young man about SO years of age, came to his death last Sunday morning about 2 o'clock by an act of suicide. He had been heard, on several occasions, to declare his in tention to take his own life. His hab its were not temperate, and during all of last week he had been drinking more or less. Friday he was at Olin and that night returned home. Saturday he told a friend that he intended to kill him self. Sometime during the afternoon he went into a lumber room, where, as was afterwards ascertained, he swal lowed a quantity of laudanum, lie locked the door and returned to the store, and shortly thereafter fell into a stupor. As soon as his true condition was ascertained Dr. Mack Little was sent for. The physician, however, did not arrive until 1 o'clock Sunday morning. An hour thereafter Mr. Ben net died, though in the meantime he had been aroused to consciousness. In the lumber room there was found an empty laudanum bottle. There are grounds for suspicion that deceased took strychnine with the laudanum. He was a well-to-do young man, and there appears to have been no special cause for his suicidal act. He leaves a wife and three or four children. Weather. Washington, Feb 23. Middle At lantic States warmer, fair weather, followed by increasing clojidiness, winds mostly southerly, lower pres sure.
